Cards in this deck (21)

  1. 1Where does the Krebs cycle occur?In the mitochondrial matrix.
  2. 2What are the net products per Acetyl-CoA in the Krebs cycle?3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 1 GTP, and 2 CO₂.
  3. 3What are the net products per glucose?6 NADH, 2 FADH₂, 2 GTP, and 4 CO₂
  4. 4What is the mnemonic for Krebs Cycle intermediates?"Oh Can I Keep Studying Science For Medical School”
    (Oxaloacetate, Citrate, Isocitrate, α-Ketoglutarate, Succinyl-CoA, Succinate, Fumarate, Malate)
  5. 5At which steps is NADH produced in the Krebs cycle?Step 3 (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase),
    Step 4 (α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase), Step 8 (Malate Dehydrogenase).
  6. 6At which step is FADH₂ produced?Step 6 (Succinate Dehydrogenase).
  7. 7At which step is GTP (or ATP) produced?Step 5 (Succinyl-CoA Synthetase).
  8. 8What is the rate-limiting enzyme of the Krebs cycle?Isocitrate Dehydrogenase.
  9. 9What activates and inhibits Isocitrate Dehydrogenase?Activated by ADP and Ca²⁺; Inhibited by ATP and NADH.
  10. 10What are the three key regulatory enzymes in the Krebs cycle?Citrate Synthase (Step 1),
    Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (Step 3),
    α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase (Step 4).
  11. 11Where do NADH and FADH₂ go after the Krebs cycle?They enter the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) to produce ATP.
  12. 12How much ATP does NADH yield?A: 2.5 ATP per NADH.
  13. 13How much ATP does FADH₂ yield?1.5 ATP per FADH₂.
  14. 14How much ATP is generated from the Krebs cycle per glucose?20 ATP total:
    • 6 NADH → 15 ATP
    • 2 FADH₂ → 3 ATP
    • 2 GTP → 2 ATP
  15. 15What is the only enzyme of the Krebs cycle located in the inner mitochondrial membrane?Succinate Dehydrogenase.
  16. 16What inhibits α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase?ATP, NADH, and Succinyl-CoA.
  17. 17What activates α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase?Ca²⁺.
  18. 18What is the mnemonic for Krebs cycle regulation?"ATP and NADH Stop; ADP and Ca²⁺ Go!" (ATP and NADH inhibit; ADP and Ca²⁺ activate.)
  19. 19How much ATP is generated from one turn of the Krebs cycle?10 ATP per Acetyl-CoA.
  20. 20How much ATP is generated from the Krebs cycle per glucose?20 ATP per glucose.
  21. 21What is the mnemonic for the Krebs Cycle enzymes?Cool Aunts In Kansas Sell Special
    Fudge Monthly
    (Citrate synthase, Aconitase, Isocitrate dehydrogenase, Alpha Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Succinyl CoA synthetase, Succinate dehydrogenase, Fumarase, Malate dehydrogenase)
